      JavaScriptJava
      numberDouble
      stringString
      booleanBoolean
      arrayList<Object>
      objectMap<String,Object>

      The conversion of the given object is based upon some basic java/javascript object conversion mechanism:
      Conversions from Java to JavaScript
      JavaJavaScript
      Number, Boolean(related toString mechanism)
      String"stringcontent"(escapes newline and ")
      List<Object>[entry0,entry1,entry2,...]
      Map<String,Object>{'key0':value0,'key1':value1,...}
      Parameters:
      object - javaobject that should be converted to JavaScript code

    • inject

      void inject(Object object, String name)
      Creates a javascript proxy for the given object instance. The new javascript object would be injected into the current web page with given name as an attribute of the window object. (Usage: window.{name})
      Ensure document is loaded completely before calling this method.

      Example:

      public class Test {
          public void call() {...}
          public void set(String parameter) {...}
          public String get() {...}
      }

      browserApp.inject(new Test(), "myTest");


      Methods can be called in javascript like the following (Object registered with name 'myTest'):

      window.myTest.call();
      window.myTest.set("value");
      window.Test.get(function(value){alert(value);});

      The execution of related object methods is done asynchronously. Because of that any return value is given to an additional javascript callback function at the end of parameters.

      Like evaluateScript(String) the method parameters and return values are converted under the same conversion pattern.

      Bear in mind that all types of Number are equal in javascript and would be converted to javascript type 'number'.
      Parameters:
      object - the object that should be injected into web page
      name - the name of the new javascript proxy object
      Since:
      4.2.416
